Former X Factor finalist Stacey Solomon has teamed up with Eblex to promote British lamb in a series of recipe videos.

Eblex’s consumer website simplybeefandlamb.co.uk has enlisted the help of Solomon to help promote lamb dishes for family dinners. In the first video Solomon cooks up a mince lamb Keema shepherd’s pie with chef Nisha Katona.

The videos will help show the versatility of lamb products, with recipes which lend themselves to different dishes – for instance Keema, which can be used in a pie, with pasta or on a jacket potato.

Solomon said: “Cooking something different that you know the kids will love is a massive challenge. My kids love all the different options so I’m able to provide something different each week and there’s nothing to it.”

Katona added: “People often overlook lamb mince. It’s such a shame because it is so versatile and goes perfectly with international flavours.”
